..Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in children. We tested whether dietary supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can decrease liver fat content in children with NAFLD...

..In this review, we discuss the recent advances made in genetics, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic management of NAFLD, focusing especially on the obesity-related steatotic liver condition...

..9; 95= CI 1.5-113.8; p=0.013) of a NAFLD activity score (NAS) >or=5. These results demonstrate that oxidative stress has an high prevalence in children with NAFLD and is associated with an increased severity of steatohepatitis...

..Many non-invasive diagnostic tools have been evaluated so far. Recently the utility of ultrasonography for non-invasive diagnosis and estimation of hepatic steatosis has been demonstrated in a large prospective pediatric study...

Transient elastography for assessment of fibrosis in paediatric liver disease

..Obesity and older age are independently associated with increased liver fibrosis. A simple lifestyle advice program significantly improves insulin resistance, and the liver disease in pediatric NAFLD...

The pediatric NAFLD fibrosis index: a predictor of liver fibrosis in children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

..Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a feature of the metabolic syndrome. A contribution of metabolic syndrome, and especially of waist circumference, to liver fibrosis in children with NAFLD is strongly suspected...

..The aim of this review is to provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying liver programming that contribute to increase the cardiometabolic risk in subjects with intrauterine growth restriction...

..Furthermore present data suggest that the risk of acute allograft rejection is very low when the CNI desired reduction is achieved in not too short time and absolutely when the MPA levels are strictly monitored...

Protein glutathionylation increases in the liver of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

..Persistent HBV infection due to wild-type virus (likely acquired vertically or early in life, as the mother was HBsAg positive) may have acted as a trigger for autoimmune hepatitis in this young girl...
